Hive makes an entrance

As for Hive, it’s a relative newcomer, which was created in reaction to the TRON Foundation’s hostile takeover of Steem via its purchase of Steemit, launching on 20 March 2020.

Nevertheless, Hive already hosts 18 dapps, including three with over 2,000 weekly active unique wallets. As with Steem, the majority of these are social dapps, which can be broadly viewed as Steemit replacements.

A house divided

In the coming weeks, DappRadar will be keeping a close eye on how these two divided communities develop. Notably looking at the opportunities for new dapps to launch, and the possibilities of existing dapps to either run across both blockchains or transition from Steem to Hive. For example, video dapp Dtube is already running on Steem and Hive.

It will be a fascinating opportunity to see how these two now divided communities build out their very different visions of the future and with DappRadar’s data and commentary, you’ll be able to see exactly what’s happening 24/7.
